thanks for the ping

I have a classic pear shape... it comes from both sides of my family. I'd like to look like J.Lo that's as realistic in weight loss as I can get. The low carb diet is my only option with the kind of food my family eats. Plus I don't do Atkins full on, I really like protein power which to me is a knock off of Atkins. I didn't bother picking up South Beach, I know it's a Atkins rip off.

You are on target, we have to find the one diet that fits our style of living. Something that not only sounds reasonable but acually works into our feeling about life.. ATKINS worked for a lot of guys in my circle of friends, and they got me involved.
